About Abortion Pills
The abortion pill is an early termination method. The first dose blocks progesterone, a pregnancy hormone that helps the embryo develop. The second pill causes the uterus to expel the embryo, inducing contractions and early labor.
Side effects can include:
-
Bleeding and blood clots
-
Heavy cramping and contractions
-
Nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea
-
Fever and/or infection
-
Thinning of the uterine lining
-
Allergic reactions
-
Stomach and abdominal pain
-
Uterine rupture
-
Incomplete abortion and more
An ultrasound is a crucial step to determine how far along you are, as menstrual cycles can be unpredictable. This information is vital, as it is dangerous to take the abortion pill if you are more than 10 weeks pregnant, have health conditions that make you ineligible for a chemical abortion, or have an ectopic pregnancy. We want you to be fully informed and prepared for your decision.
It's important to note that the abortion pill is not the same as emergency contraceptives or morning-after pills. The abortion pill is a method for terminating an early pregnancy, while emergency contraceptives are used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex. Due to safety concerns, the FDA has issued a warning about ordering abortion pills online. We do not provide or refer for abortion services or charge for our pregnancy services.
